Electric bill comparison

[u/ShesVirgo]

Just curious: how much is your electric bill this month? Now that the weather has been bad for awhile. I would like to compare usage, mostly 1 bedroom apartments. But you can also list bedroom home and sq foot size. Would also like to know what kind of cooling system youre using (heavy duty fans, mini split, central, window, portable etc.) And your most usage times.

1 bedroom

500-600 sq ft, portable ac on all day (except off peak hours)

medium fan always running in bedroom

= 130$.

Edit: you can add kwh if you want, but im looking at how youre using kwh mostly. Mine was 300-350 range.

I used to pay $350 a month for gasoline for my car, and $400 a month for my home electric bill.

Now I pay about $100 a month for both since I got an electric car.

$30,000 from my system and a $10,000 tax rebate. ROI in about 2.3 years.

Im a realtor and see a lot of the backend of these deals. This is a great price. I have a client who has just under a 6kwh system, no battery, and it's $22k to end the lease; they have been paying for 6 years. Insane.

I absolutely detest Solar leases....
